    I'm not trying to be negative, but I wouldn't recommend a high profile QB choose Georgia at this point. Obviously, we just won a NC, so saying Smart was "wrong" is a **** thing to say, but Smart has proven to be looking for a game manager QB as opposed to someone who will be able to throw 7 TDs a game.

    Smart shouldn't sign QBs that he knows won't fit the mold he's looking for. Maybe there's no way to know who will fit best, but these high profile transfers shows there is a huge disconnect. I mean, how does Bennett go from 3rd string to no-one-else-is-starting-but-him? Bennett didn't become a different QB and JT certainly didn't fail.

    That is what really kills me. We will get someone like Manning to sign and then we'll have 2 of the 3 transfer by next year between Vandagriff, Stockton and him.

    Find whom you want and invest in them.

    Think about what you are saying… your arguments contradict themselves and the actual facts. For example, Bennett is no mere ‘game manager’—you need look no further than the NCG to see that for yourself. If you still claim Bennett played as a game manager, how would you characterize Bryce Young? 🤣

    Edit: I see you have only a few posts. Query whether you are an actual Dawg fan. 😉

    Back on topic, I believe Kirby is doing a great job of recruiting Manning. I hope Arch and his family decide he will come to Georgia—it would be a good move for him and his development, and good for the Dawgs! 👍

    Hemingwey, everyone knows that Bennett was being managed. And for a good reason. INT machine when he was not. Maybe not a 100% game manager as he did run the ball well and had that threat and once in awhile was allowed to air it out. Once in a while...and that usually ended up with the ball hitting a DB in the chest. Sooner rather than later. Conservative passing game. He got better this past year but was still highly managed and for very good reason. Could not trust him. he was STILL a game manager most every game. Just don't F it up. And he was terrible on 3rd down conversions when he passed the ball. More experienced receivers may have helped but man was he the most likely to cause the other team to get a TD or for our D to lose a shutout. Maybe next season he will improve in these areas. Also, one more thing. Your opinion does not mean more than most others. Although it is obvious some people think very highly of themselves and their opinions and think they are the smartest person in the room all the time. And you sure have posted a ton. Dan Mullen thought he was the smartest person in the room too. Nobody really likes him. Ego. A word to the wise....well I am sure you already know huh.

    Guys, after reading all the comments below I would have to say the following:

    To be frank, Georgia doesn't win their National Championship last month without our defense. The play of the defense is what ultimately won that game. We kept the Bama offense contained enough so Bennett could do enough to win it. Taking nothing away from Stet - he did a fine job and made some stellar passes at crucial times. But I do think our offense must progress further next season. Our D will be good, but I don't think it will be able to the driving force of our victories in near the same fashion as it was this season.

    If I was Arch Manning, I would wait and see how well this pass-happy Monken offense either develops much further or doesn't. A lot of that may depend on who starts at QB throughout the season. I believe if we move our offense forward into more of an aggressive passing attack next season then Arch Manning will take more notice AND so will top WRs that are looking for a home. I'm very excited and interested in seeing the Spring QB battle.

    Arch Manning is well managed. His parents and others. Very high profile 5-Star QB with the pedigree name. What could go wrong right? Ask Bryce Young? It happened a few weeks ago. QBs are a cog but it takes the wheel to win.

    I love the shot of Kirby and Company in the beginning of the video! With Monken there, I hope that's a good sign that he's staying for at least another season. If Arch commits to UGA, I think Monken would stay to show what he can do with him.
